popping my wankel cherry
 

Hey, I just bought a 90 jdm rx7 turbo, so I thought id get a head start here. Im 22, married, and have been a supra guy since i was 16, Ive had 3 mk2 supra's, my last I swapped a 7mgte into it. Ive wanted to try something different for a while and have finally sold my mk2. I look forward to my new rotary powered toy, heres the specs

maple ridge ahah! you bought that SICK FC off craigslist, then. i was thinking that spec list reminded me of something... I'm from Delta.

Very nice, and well kitted out with all the Jap stuff

Im going to get some pics up tonight, I drove it around all last night and Im very impressed with it, it has fd brakes up front so it stops like balls, and im suprised with how much torque it has at 1.1 bar... also threw a 2 foot flame shifting into second wich is always nice.

I can't believe you said pop my wankel cherry

LOL

Here's a few pics, also its only running about .5 bar right now. so like 8 psi or so, how much is a safe limit for boost with stock turbo, injectors, but a hks f-con, intake, exhaust and intercooler

not a huge fan of how the FC's look... but that is clean looking, nice find/buy

That is one FC I'd love to have as my own.

Congrats on the purchase

The car looks awesome!

Welcome to the forum

those 16's look really good

If it weren't for the bonnet scoop, I get confused as 180sx from a distance. Nice ride.

sick, i dig the wangan wing

Thanks guys, ive been getting some time behind the wheel and learning the car more, I must say it behaves very well and I really like the way a rotary engine feels. The power seems to die off at higher rpm's, around 6 grand or so, It has full exhaust including downpipe and all but is that just because the boost seems to teater off a bit? Or just the stock turbo running out of steem? Either way Ive already been in contact with force fed motorsports and they said they would rebuild the engine with a street port for $4500. Im thinking I may source a turbo kit and injectors, and a clutch and get the engine built and new everything else installed at once then dyno tuned, Id like a reliable 350whp and be able to run mid 12's or so. Does that sound feasible?
